<p>
But probably not too many of the Vergennes resident&rsquo;s peers match her nearly 200 hours of community service in the past year, conduct a church choir, and already have mapped out their college choice &mdash; St. Michael&rsquo;s &mdash; and career plans &mdash; teaching music or French.</p>
